-<li>'''Centurion lounges'''. American Express has been building out their own set of “Centurion Lounges” at major airports. These lounges have nicer décor and better food than most of the domestic lounges that participate in the Priority Pass program. However, they are only located in a single terminal in a handful of airports: Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Houston, JFK, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Le Guardia,  Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, and Hong Kong. Additional lounges are planned for Atlanta, National (D.C.), and Heathrow. The Platinum card’s expanded lounge access (versus just a Priority Pass membership) is most interesting for people who live in those cities. [//thecenturionlounge.com/ Centurion Lounges]. </li>

 Unless mentioned below, any authorized cardholders get their own account and guest privileges. This is convenient if they are travelling without the primary cardholder or if you need the capacity to bring along extra guests. But unfortunately, most of these cards charge an extra fee for authorized cardholders.

+'''Provides unlimited access to Priority Pass lounges AND restaurants'''. With the changes that have taken place to the premium card landscape, the Sapphire Reserve is the only mainstream option. The Ritz Carlton Card can be a good option for people who are interested in making a Marriott card part of their core credit card collection, are willing to deal with the Ritz Carlton's inconvenient airline incidental credit, and can wait a year to upgrade the regular Marriott Card.
